Skin Deep (Poems by Franceska Krence)

A reminder

You surrounded me

Saying you wanted me whole

Giving me hope

of never endless love

I told you

I do not believe

in relationships

or them boys screwing me up

You told me about her

the girl who did it with them all

As I said my past is not beauty as well

you said past doesn't define who I am

You gave me hope

you gave me smile

You made me realize

You made me dream

I tried, I really did

But this time it wasn't me

You wanted me whole

But me whole was far from enough

Now I cry here, alone

Hoping you would do

Something more than nothing

To save to help, but you do nothing at all

This is my cue to leave

This is the cue to not believe

I do not open up

I do not glue together my broken heart

However, I know

I am fierce, I am strong

I don't need someone to move on

Life goes on and so do I,

Without leaving any traces behind
